Welcome

Welcome to Blue Wave Martial Arts in partnership with Finborough School. Our youth Martial Arts offering is second to none. We bring highly qualified and DBS-checked coaches who love teaching children and it shows on their (and the children’s) smiling faces.

Our youth members learn important life skills at Blue Wave. Not just the Martial Art they practice but also respect for others, discipline, community, how to follow the rules, listening, and how to look after each other.

You have the option of a Term Time Only membership or a Dual Membership between school and our dedicated Martial Arts Academy in Risby, Bury St Edmunds. With three training mats, daytime and evening sessions, and the best facilities in our area, you’re in safe hands at Blue Wave.
